About the book

Where Angels Fear to Tread is a novel by E. M. Forster. The title comes from a line in Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism: "For fools rush in where angels fear to tread". The BBC adapted the novel for television in 1966 as a Play of the Month. It was apparently Alexander Pope who coined that phrase, while writing a piece of literary criticism. "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread?" Well, the phrase may apply to cautious writers, but it does not apply to angels in scripture, or to angels in our tradition.

    At first I didn't like this book much. In my opinion it was often much too clichéd. I even wanted to quit read it and only continued because it is on the 1001 books list and I thought there had to be a reason for it. The second part of the book was a lot better and I actually enjoyed reading it. I also liked the end even though it is quite sad.
